title: [The roles of MYB transcription factors on plant defense responses and its molecular mechanism.].
abstract: Transcriptional regulation of defense gene expression is a crucial part of plant defense responses in plant defense environment stresses. As one of the largest plant transcription factor families, MYB (v-myb avian myeloblastosis viral on-cogene homolog) transcription factors play an important role in plant stress tolerance. In this paper, we review the structural features, functional characterization and molecular mechanism of MYB transcription factor family, and discuss the regula-tory roles of transcription factors in plant defense responses.
